Andrée Days, Sweden (2012)
And again a lovely time in Sweden. Even though the weather wasn't that
wonderful we managed to make two beautiful flights. Rainbows,
breathtaking landscapes and happy people; they can be all found in this
photo album.

The first
FAI Junior World Hot Air Balloon Championship held in Marijampole, Lithuania. I
joined the Swedish delegation to this great event. We had a fun time and made
five flights from which three were competition flights. I tried to capture the balloons
as well as the locals, Lithuania’s landscape and our humorous moments. It
worked out pretty well actually. You’re more than welcome to take a look at the
album, tag your friends and leave comments.

Swedish Nationals, Sweden (2012)
Adventures of Simon Josefsson's balloon team during the Swedish
Nationals in Gränna. Even though I was too amazed to take a picture of
it, I saw three moose!Click here to see the pictures

Perfectly organized balloon event in the German Sauerland. The region
is characterized by forests, small villages, stone pits and windmills.
The Warsteiner beer is brewed right next to the launch field. Every
morning and evening over hundred balloons take off.

My favorite balloon event! Over 400 balloons above spacious Northern
France. I'm very thankful I could share this exhausting but magnificent
week with the most humorous, easy going and lovely people from the
world of ballooning.

I've been taking ballooning pictures even before getting my first digital camera in 2003, however, only the latest pictures managed to get on my Facebook account. If you have any requests of an event in the past you want to see back here, please let me know!
